In August we went from 8.03.405a to 9.04.506C. Our tests on windows 2003 on a 64 bit server using VMware showed it would take 72 hours to convert our then 14 GB database.
We went back to a 32 Bit Physical server (at the suggestion from a non-epicor consultant) and that time went from 72 hours to 16.

The version of E9 that we were going to was 9.04.504. I timed each step of the conversion process. The schema change alone took 2.5 hours. Now, on the latest versions of Vantage / Epicor, that schema change takes upwards of 20 hours. Our database is only 13GB. Both of these are done on the same hardware that we used last year. No virtualization is utilized. Epicor has suggested that we do a Dump and Load. I did that, but it didn't help. Our ideal conversion should happen over a weekend. The support rep and I have run out of ideas. Seems that I have nearly the same problem as in this post
